Description

A charming, Grade II Listed cottage, set in a generous 0.16-acre plot with a spacious, studio/annexe and off road parking. The property dates to the late 17th century with a later 20th century extension and enjoys a wealth of character features together with lovely mature gardens.

Horseshoe Cottage was originally two small cottages with the sellers believing they were once the village bakery and blacksmiths. The property has, over the years been thoughtfully extended to ensure the character of the property has been respected and retained but at the same time, the extension has added a lovely bright modern wing, which provides a second sitting/multipurpose room, that would make a wonderful studio or creative space, with the main bedroom above. The current owners have also added a studio/annexe in the garden to provide a great office for home working, which equally would be perfect as guest accommodation.

Approached over South Lane, the property has its main entrance via the rear garden. The welcoming entrance hall opens to the 17C cottage on one side and the more modern extension on the other, and the bathroom is set between the two and has underfloor heating and is fitted with a lovely roll-top bath with claw feet, a separate shower, w.c., and hand basin.

The original cottage has many lovely features, including exposed timbers, pretty windows, and inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen dining room is a bright, triple aspect room with a quarry tiled floor that continues into the sitting room. There is a traditional butler sink with a ceramic drainer and space for a washing machine, dishwasher, and an upright fridge freezer. There is an AGA set within the inglenook fireplace, in the centre of the room there is space for a good sized dining table and chairs, and tucked in the corner is one of the three staircases that give access to the first floor. The sitting room is off the kitchen/dining room and is another lovely, dual-aspect room with underfloor heating and a stunning inglenook fireplace inset with a log burning stove, there is a built in cupboard, a door out to the garden, and a door to a second staircase that leads up to the first floor with built in storage under.

The modern extension houses a second reception/multipurpose room that enjoys lots of natural light, making it ideal for use as an art studio, playroom, music room, or creative space and there is ample storage provided within cabinets set below the third staircase that leads to a mezzanine bedroom. The mezzanine is currently used as the main bedroom and has a fitted dressing room off.

On the first floor of the original cottage are two further dual aspect rooms, both of which will take a double bed. These rooms both have vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers and one has a fitted cupboard.

The annexe/studio is bright and modern with a generous, dual aspect living space with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors out to the garden, there is a smaller snug/office space, a lobby, and a wet room which again benefits from underfloor heating. A personal door gives access to the garage, which is generously proportioned with a wide door to the side and double doors to the front.

Outside there is a pretty cottage garden, that is laid to lawn with mature borders, there is a beautiful brick terrace adjacent to the house and a second brick terrace set below a pergola, which provides an ideal spot for dining or entertaining. An ornamental wall divides the terrace from an area of gravel beyond which is an attractive open store.

Listing details:-Cottage. Late C17, extended and altered C20. Timber-framed, plaster rendered and longstraw thatch, half-hipped with original axial ridge stack of red brick. One storey and attic. Three horizontal sliding sashes to front wall, one probably on the site of the original entry. The present doorway is in a mid C20 extension at the rear.

About Cooke Curtis & Co, Cambridge

40 High Street, Trumpington, Cambridge, CB2 9LS
Industry affiliations:

Cooke Curtis and Co. have been Cambridge's thinkingest estate agents since 2015.

We're warm, we're bright, we're experienced, we're calm and considered under pressure, we're masterful marketeers and we're entirely devoted to giving our clients the very best we can.

And our best is demonstrably pretty exceptional. Witness our glowing (genuine, not paid for - watch out for that) online reviews and the industry awards and plaudits we can't stop winning (including Best Single Office Estate Agency in the whole of Great Britain from The Best Estate Agent Guide 2022 - beat that).

The people of Cambridge who have embraced us and shared in our success have done so not because we're the cheapest or the most ruthless, but because we always work enormously hard to achieve the best results for all our clients and we do so without compromising our ethos of being fair, honest and kind. Don't get us wrong, we're here to sell and let as many properties as we can, that kind of drive is exactly what you need from an estate agent, but we manage to do it without forgetting to make our parents proud of our methods as well as our results.

If we sound like your kind of people, you're probably our kind of person too. Let's work together.
